For the second straight year, NCHPAD and the Inclusive Fitness Coalition (IFC) are pleased to be joining the mainstream fitness world with presentations at the Club Industry Conference and Exposition for Health & Fitness Facility Management Conference. This conference, taking place October 14-17, 2009, in Chicago, is the only event that unites the entire fitness community, focusing on both the common operating challenges and individual needs of all facilities. Last year, there was a session track that was specific to inclusive fitness, but this year, we have infiltrated the mainstream classes and are no longer separated from the masses. Club Industry goes "inclusive," literally! We are excited about this continuing opportunity and encourage our readers and the NCHPAD community to attend the conference, whether for sessions or just to visit the exhibit hall. Read more about the conference and how to get a discount in the Events section of this month's newsletter.
